An exciting day ahead with two consecutive events!

From 10.30 a.m to 6 p.m, the decoration specialist AJ Déco will be at La Place de Gros Bois to showcase and sell their soft, colourful and cosy cushions and plaids. The Bikini Bar will also be present to allow you to boost your creativity and create your own swimsuit. These could be the ideal Christmas gifts to help you start filling Santa’s sack!

Then, as from 7 p.m, home decoration will be replaced by…Gin! Grays, producer, importer and distributor of wines and spirits, will take over to offer a discovery of their products through a Gin bar, accompanied by live music. Info and reservations on 630 1329 or [email protected]

The season’s festive spirit will culminate in an event filled with the magic of Christmas.

From 10 a.m to 7 p.m, twelve stalls covered with exquisite products such as swimsuits, decoration, recycled materials, tapas, Christmas cakes, leather sandals, fresh fruits and vegetables, will be set up around La Place de Gros Bois. Enjoy the festive atmosphere and gather your loved ones for a photo break in front of the bright Christmas tree that will embellish La Place as from the 1^st of December!

To top it off, Santa’s elves are busy working on an inclusive Christmas event to support an association, at La Place de Gros Bois.

All the residents lend a hand in organising their awaited yearly rendez-vous that is finally coming back after two years: bring and share, music, lights, bonfire… They all get together around the chimneys during a fun-filled afternoon and evening.

The children have a good time all over La Place, the pleasant atmosphere is rocked by the sound of people catching up after a while, lively discussions, laughter, games. It is a time for neighbours to make memories together.

What a treat it is to spend a Saturday afternoon in the lychee orchard!

The young residents, accompanied by their parents, gather for a walk in the shade of the lychee trees, with their bag in hand to be filled with juicy fruits all afternnon.

After having savoured dozens of lychees throughout the walk, the joyful plucking session ends with a get together at La Place de Gros Bois.
